# Half-Shaved Pompadours Ash Stymest Blends 80s Punk & 50s Greaser for System Campaign By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-09-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-stymest-system-campaign References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/blog/2009/09/system-campaign-ash-stymest-by-karim-sadli/) & [system.kr](http://www.system.kr/) Ash Stymest is the model in this System campaign, and it’s a hot one. Photographer Karim Sadli photographs the tatted-up male model in the Korean label’s latest offerings, but it’s Ash Stymest’s half-shaved pompadour that intrigues me most. It reminds me of a combination between the [half-shaved styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorzero30) that ruled the day in the 80s (and are currently making a revival) and the [slicked-back greaser hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-disgracefully-collection) that were all the rage in the 50s.
